"The European Council summit held last week was once again called a meeting of last resort. Analysts and journalists were constantly trying to convince us that it was the final opportunity to make a decision on saving the common currency. When you look at the consensus reached from this perspective, you may feel disappointed. However, the compromise achieved, which may help the Member States to improve the soundness of their public finances and thus save the common currency, should be appreciated. Yet the fact that the proposed changes will not be included in the Treaties, but adopted instead by an intergovernmental agreement, is a significant deficiency. The question that arises is this: what will be the role of the Community’s institutions in the framework of the emerging fiscal union? We need to take all possible measures to maintain the strong position of Community institutions, because they are the only safeguards of the principle of solidarity and equality amongst states. We must not allow a situation to arise where we save the euro but we lose the Union. We should not forget that only the and EU institutions guarantee an equal position for all Member States. Despite the shortcomings of the agreement, we should welcome the fact that the intergovernmental agreement reached is not limited only to the euro area, but is open to other members of the EU. Six countries outside the euro area, including Poland, have decided to opt for deeper integration, and have once again demonstrated responsibility for the whole Community and a desire to achieve an internally strong Europe."@en1
